I have thought it, but what they did? They had bring two american actors to Rome? It's strange. Considering the cast of the film, I thought there was the possibility for this actor to going to America, because there are many italian technicians in the cast.

I'm pretty sure it's him as priest in Ludwig (1972); maybe appears also the 'Fat man with squared head', but I'm not sure:

Posted by: Johan Melle August 09, 2011 01:41 am

He has a pretty nice role together with Kabir Bedi in "I fratelli Zaccheo", the famous fotoromanzo in 30 parts published in the magazine Grand Hotel throughout 1984

Unfortunately, he is uncredited just like all the other supporting actors...

The shot is not so good but it's him! I've seen this movie few days ago You save myself from a lot of work with pics

Posted by: Johan Melle June 13, 2012 06:33 pm

Here is an interesting discovery! I just found our dear generico in a nice little role as one of the monks in Catacombs (1988), an American horror movie filmed in Italy:

There are several tiny roles credited in the cast list as you can see here:

I think there is a very good possibility that our friend is one of these four actors:

- Roberto Di Cicco- Mimmo Grillo- Alfredo Manotti- Sparco Nale

But I don't know which of them could be our man. And I cannot find any other films where any of these actors are credited, so I think it will be very difficult to identify this generico...

Posted by: Emiliano June 13, 2012 08:50 pm

Have these four names is however a good result!

Posted by: Ciavazzaro June 13, 2012 09:01 pm

What a pity they don't have more movies (at least on imdb,and we know how many things are missing on that website),but at least its a beginning !!Maybe some fotoromanzos can help us,i really hope that !!

Posted by: Johan Melle June 13, 2012 11:18 pm

Yeah, I really hope we will come across one of these names in another film or maybe a TV production! I really want to know the name of our dear generico!

Posted by: TRS June 15, 2012 04:36 pm

In I prosseneti is credited Mattea Grillo, but 1) Mattea and 2) he is not in the film... or the user in this forum don't saw him (i don't know who posted the ending cast credit list of this film here in the forum).

Posted by: Ciavazzaro June 15, 2012 09:22 pm

Hello TRS mortimer is the user you search forBut by the way i don't understand,our slim man with big chin have a role in i prosseneti ? because i can't found it in this page !!!

There are several tiny roles credited in the cast list as you can see here:

I think there is a very good possibility that our friend is one of these four actors:

- Roberto Di Cicco- Mimmo Grillo- Alfredo Manotti- Sparco Nale

What kind of name is even Sparco?Maybe they meant http://www.imdb.it/name/nm0620526/, an actor credited in several movies. I watched Ricky & Barabba, where he's credited, but I don't know if Spartaco is our man: I don't remember seeing our unknown friend, nor do I know who the real Spartaco Nale is. Can anyone control the other movies listed?

Posted by: Emiliano June 17, 2012 10:09 pm

You're completely right. A major clue to your intuition is that even the name of Ettore Martini is wrong (Etore). Unfortunately I haven't any movie of Spartaco but maybe someone has it.

Wonderfull! Thank you, so i found him in La legge della camorra! I found too Mariani, finally, he had a very little role and i am almost sure that big chin and the other generico are credited in this film, but unfortunately all 1-film-credit-actors!

Fabio CeroniGiulio Di Stefano

Angelo Casadei is credited in 3 filmsMario Castaldi in 2 - the second: Stradivari (1988) as Capra, the Architect maybe someone has this film?

Well, TRS was right!!

I just found our man in 2 credited roles:

Nerone e Poppea (1982)

and Roman Polanski's Pirates (1986)

So now we know his name: the Slim Man With Big Chin is Angelo Casadei.

Posted by: UomoBlooper February 25, 2013 10:54 am

Great news!

This should be him in Amici più di prima (1976), a Franco & Ciccio anthology film, so I suppose the footage comes from another movie, but I'm not aware of which one...Our Angelo appears for a brief second, getting a pie thrown in his face.

Amici più di prima (1976) (uncredited) .... Cowboy

Angelo Casadei is credited also in Giuseppe Bertolucci's L'amore probabilmente (2001). He plays Tobia. I haven't seen that movie, so I can't tell if that's actually our big chin man or some other guy with the same name...

Posted by: vecchiaguardia February 25, 2013 12:34 pm

Great Scott!!

Finally another historical generico have a name !!!My compliments !!

Posted by: Johan Melle February 25, 2013 05:41 pm

Wow! Excellent work! I was starting to fear that we would never be able to identify him but then Ghibarian finally managed to do it! GREEEEEEAAAAAT!

Anyway, here is Casadei in Stradivari (1988), where he appears for a few seconds as a friar:

The western photo from above is most likely from Due mafiosi nel Far West.

I think that the woman in the pic from Mamma Ebe is Marcella Theodoli,what do you think vecchiaguardia ?Do you have other pics with her ?

Posted by: Johan Melle May 16, 2013 05:11 pm

@ Ciavazzaro: I agree - the woman on the left in the picture from Mamma Ebe is Marcella Theodoli without a doubt!

@ Tom B: Angelo Casadei is the brother of actor Enrico Casadei? Where does this information come from? Please give us more details.

I think he could be Angelo Casadei in Un medico in famiglia (TV series - season 2) (televised in 2000, but filmed in 1999) episode 18: "Finalmente soli" as ASL patient with scarf. This segment is used other times in the serie as "buffer" to change the location and the scene.

Posted by: Ciavazzaro June 20, 2013 03:42 pm

I think yes, (considering he also have done other movies in the same period).

Casadei has a pretty good role in the first episode of the 3-part TV series Il furto della Gioconda (1978), where he plays a guard at the Louvre. He appears in several scenes and has some dialogue too:

I'm not 100% sure but I think he is credited too - as Gastone Casadei:
